The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is cited and supported through the Supreme Court of the United States as the foundation of separation of Church and State. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This salvation is the secret of the success of the United States of America and is clearly the greatest internal threat that confronts this great nation today. The religious right, Cult of Jesus, presents threats to the sovereignty of the United States from every pulpit and promotes bigotry and hate as their universal concept of “love.”

Tax the Church. Any Church, any religion that moves into the secular world of politics and politicking as the Catholic Church, Baptist Church, Mormon Church or any of the Cults of Jesus, Islam, Hebrew, Buddhist, Shinto, Hindi or Rastafarian; tax them all.

Fanaticism is unacceptable social behavior on any level. The great threat of this kind of religious fervor is the direction of its application. It’s not religion that kills it is people. The difference is between belief and knowledge and if you think that Jesus or God is speaking to you then you are schizophrenic. Religion presents a powerful language through which you can justify atrocities through mob mentality. This is not “the democratic process” in having the Mormon Church mount repeal of Gay Marriage Laws while hiding behind corporate entities and living in fear of discovery for their signatures on the petitions to place the denial of civil rights on a ballot.

Why can’t we all just get along? We can’t “get along” because fanaticism leads to hate that leads to mental, social and verbal abuse that leads to violence and this is the pattern of human nature upon which religion preys. Make no mistake that religion preys. Religion preys upon the worst aspects of human nature and does nothing to uplift ones’ soul. Religion preys upon the divisive reality of them against “we of the same belief” system. Religion preys upon the ignorance, poverty and social ineptitude of the ignorant and demonstrates clearly an inability of rational thought with its very nature of “belief” vs “proof.” Prey away.
